A "puberty peer program" typically involves peer educators, often high school students, who are trained to share information and support with their peers about puberty and related topics, aiming to create a more inclusive and supportive environment. Patrons that attend both Puberty Peer Program and the Healthy Relationship Program will be entered into a $50 Amazon GC drawing.
